Just got this off craigslist and believe it's early knoll but can only find this info on it
Has anyone else seen one like this?

I can't tell you whether...
I can't tell you whether your piece is actually Knoll or not. That said, the sticker in the drawer on the piece that you link to has a "Knoll Associates" label with the 320 Park Avenue Address. This address was used between 1961 and and 1970 (when they moved to 745 Fifth Avenue). Based on that, the theory that either piece is "early" Knoll does not really hold water. I suspect someone added that sticker to the credenza...but I could be wrong
I don't know if it is Knoll...
I don't know if it is Knoll or not either. Never seen one like exactly like that, but then they did do custom pieces back then.
As far as the sticker on the cabinet in the link: most of those early Knoll pieces remained in production for a pretty long time, so I think the sticker could be legit -- an early design, but not an early production, perhaps?
I have the same credenza
Jesgord - Did you ever find out if your credenza was actually Knoll? I have the same piece, with a glass cabinet/hutch top. I went thru the same logic as you did w/ the Furnish Me Vintage link. Other dealers (on 1st dibs, etc) identified these pieces as Knoll, but when I contacted Knoll (the company), they weren't able to identify the model#s on the rear -- but I'm not sure how hard they tried!
thanks....
thanks - my credenza is slightly different
You know, I just realized (now that I'm looking at a full sized screen) that my credenza has recessed pulls (4 drawers) and the legs are at the edges of the piece. Same cane doors/leather pulls though. The inside drawer is black felt just like the furnish me vintage photo. I got it for a great price as well, but it's still frustrating not knowinf....
(I checked the 1938-1960 Knoll book - not there)
